RANDOM RECOLLECTIONS OF
TILE - OLD DOROUGH.
To the Editor of the azrlitle Herald:
CIIAPTER I
If, inong the many readers of the
HERALD, there be some who would he
entertained with . a. few reminiscences of
Carlisle, as it was half a century ago, I
will venture to recall, through your col
umns, some traits and incidents pertain
ing to the old town. By so doing
I shall, at least, refresh my own memory,
and possibly excite in their minds au in
creased interest in the days of "lang
syno."
It is now some five aid thirty years
since I walked the streets of Carlisle, on
a hasty visit to the town ; and longer ago,
(no matter how much longer,) since I
could 6e called a denizen of the place.
-idy earliest recollections date, with some
clearness, as far back as 1819, or 1820,
and, more vaguely, even to 1817. The
external appearance of the town, as„,,i
stood at the former date, is most dis
tinctly engraved on my memory ; and the
streets , and alloys, lamps, signboards,
, ptitilie-rbuildinge-paatularatbliemelieWWft,
of the time,- are- yet familiar to my
mind's eye.
There were three different views of
the town, which I can recall with great
facility : One from Ilfile=Hill on the east ;
another from a point on the Baltimore
turnpike ; and another froM Tara Hill,
on tho side of thit7Ciinnet. israt
conspicuous, in each of thern,•wns the
old Court House, from the eminence of
its -position, and its solitary steeple,
which, as ; a steeple, stood,, then, "alone
in its glory,", for I make nothing of the
College belfry and its mermaid, as being,
from those points, altogether in the
background. Tho view from the south,
which was the most striking, had been
once made the subject of a very clever
sketch, by some artist, in oil painting ;
and the picture was, for many years, in
the possession-of the late venerable Dr.
Creigh. I have often studied that paint
ing, and can say, that whatever it , may
have lacked as a work of art, it was a
faithful, and spirited view of Carlisle, as
seen from the south and east. It was'
easy to • distinguish in it, not only the
public buildings—the County Hall, the
old Dutch Church, in South Hanover
street, &c., &o.••blit scores of the private
houses, on that side of the town. This
picture was probably done before the
Revolution; but Bic painting, itself, as
I remember it, had suffered more change
Tn - tbe Tffeniffinie;tlinn - the - streets-tind•
edifices which were the subject of it.
Carlisle seems to have had, from the
first, rather a finished character. It is
well understood, by 'those vho have in
vestigated the matter, that; the original
occupation of the ground was made by
a few French settlers, though their mi..
denca were confined, chiefly to the mar
gin Of the Spring. From those people
the stream received its name, Letort—
the minding the serpentine—in their Nor
mandy patois,;* for they were a detach
ment of that swarm of Yellow Breeches, or
Canadian French, who squattedoroll our
Western rivers, and gave so much trouble;
eventually, to English colonists in
whatwas called the French War. Being
trappers, they occupied, chiefly, the
water courses, and there they have, in

CHAPTE'R II
Tho town of Carlisle, as I have said,
seems to hatio bean laid out, built up, and
handed over, complete, into the occupancy
of its first inhabitants. - For many years ,
of my young . ' days, I think, there was .
scarcely a now house erected ; and few
enlarged; or improved. 'And •-•', small.
blame" to the people for this last' men-
tioned circumstance, when it is consid
ered bow hard it was to improve on the
'solid stone masonry of those original
buildings. The, builders of 1752, (Or
thereabouts,) and their successors, have
erected eapital,mortuments to their os n.
skill, in dozens of houses that you may
inspect, any daYi• in .Hanover and Main
streets, and:that have, a thousand times,
struokthe attention of strangers.:*Siting
the town. The fine old Presbyterian
church on one . quarter of the Square ;
the original St. John's Episcopal churn,
that once stood upon another quarter of
it, but close upon Main street, and more
to the east, (a littleiXquatlrilateral;" the
stones of which had concreted into
solid block, when it came to be pulled
down 1) the J. Miller House, on ono side
of the " Diamond,", ; and the Duncan
House ; On another; the old jail, 'an ex-.
cellent structure, originally, but miser
ably deformed, with a spatter dash coat
ing of " rough cast," washed white ; the
old- Seceders' meeting house, on West
street, the successor - to that which had'
sone to ruin at the •" Meetinghouse
prings ;".1. and last,• but not least, th e
old Court house, a specimen brick of the •
solid architecture of the last century.

built in the classical style, and on a dif
ferent location. I wonder if it has a'
semicircular recess in the court room for
the Judges'. bench, and a chair perched
up on a column for the crier's seat; and
a huge six plate stove in the lobby, for
the people to scorch their clothes, an

the trials; and a steeple with ono Jour
hand clock, eternally pointing
.I.la little in advance of school time. If
no steeple at till, what do the 0111211110 j.
swallows have for a centre; when they
come out in the calm summer evenings,
and " swing round the circle" in a oloud
of five thousand, mono or loss? Of course
you have stood.and gazed at thorn many
a time, (as I have done,) while they ca
reered . around the steeple, and seemed
to waltz'to the music of Old Iceigloy's
"first bell."' the spire also vibraang to'
its motion, until, an example being set
by the leading bird of the flocks, they
popped down the chininoys, ono, after
another, as if It was all in the evening's
programme.
I know of no town, of a similar size,
whiCh can filrnish such a variety of
trades, , ao Carlisle could, forty or fifty
years ago: Branches of handicraft, that
are exceedingly rare now in our country,
had their representatives in that little
town. The - noncontration of many man
ufactures into largo establishments, has,
Of late'yearsrdone away-with -almost-half
the work that was carried on in country
towns and.. villages. 'But in my early
recollection, besides carpenters, black
smiths, masons, tailors, shoemakers, tin
-workers, brewers, 'bakers, &c., there
were, in Carlisle, stockinz weavEre,
rope . maker, a potter, a buckskin and
glove maker, a
,potash manufacturer;
saddle tree makers, a typo founder, .a
(genuine) silversmith, a nailer, a rood, or
Why maker, weaver of Irish linen, and
of linen carpet, white smiths, gunsmiths,
locksmiths, silver platers, and a clock
maker, (ecce signunt on the steeple above

years, at the Barracks, 'curiosity and a
puzzle to all visitors. Many traditional
stories were told (and believed) of the
work on it so far, arid the cause-of its
noncomplotion. We boys held it, on the
most reliable authority, that / the heat of
forging it had proved so excessive to the
experimentalist, 'to molt all the lead
buttons on his jacket,, and the silver

of the statement, I am-inclined, 'on ma-,

in school and out. But I lived to honor
him fol his many virtue's as a ()Mien and
a mall ; and as I relleet how much the
qualities of that class of'min have

In thos 6 e days the Irish schoolmasters
were the mails dependence of our part of
the country for the education of chil
dren, especially hi "the three IV s." And
the particular individuals who wielded
Dilworth and the taws, " when I was a
scho.d boy aged ten," were Walter Bell,
Hunter, Dougherty, Hanimmid, and the'
gentleman above mentioned. It was my
- fortune, good or bad, to enjoy the in
struction of more than one of these
learned professors; but I can honestly
say, that what they did ,undertake-to
teach, they taught most th4rongl4F and
conscientiously. Aileih t for,. spoiling or
reading, I Would conlitratlY pit a Car,

Latin and Greek were taught only in
the College Grammar School, though
the pastor of the Catholic Church, .at
that time—Father Kogan—had a-small
class for a yearor two. Tho first Makes
teacher of the English branches whom I
kneiv, was Henry Wales. Ho was a man
of extraordioary energy and industry ;
and so popular for a while thatluyalmost•
superseded tho "masters" of the old
School. Tho LatMasterian method of
teaching was a fl'Avrito one with kith.
In fact, ho'inado an expertinont of it in
Carlisle, inn modified form to which
tho Town Council gave theltroneourage
inmOynentributing a certain sum fur

the poorest children of the town—ono

This gentleman extended, considerably;
the course of studies for both sexes ; and
boys and girls wore admitted to•' such
branches as Grammar, Geography, and
:Natural li'cienees. It .was an immensd
stride in the march of education, wheti
you consider that, previously, not ales=
son oven. in English Grammar Could Pa
acquired at any school in the town, in a
regular way.. :Well do riemeMber when
Samuel Kirkham, then engaged in hid
first enterprise as a publisher of popular
reading—visited occasionally our school
room in the Old College,' and, by of
amusement, talked grammar with Mr.
Wales, and discussed . knotty points of
syntax.. Those conversations wore, no
doubt, to th - e,advantage of the young
author; and .I have soften wondered
since, bow much the suggestions of the
old schoolmaster had to do with the later
improvements, and the final. unirece
dented success of ifirkham's grammar:
HoWever, no school book probably had
had,-up-to that tithe, anything like such
an extensile use and sale ; and I doubt
Whether the books whichbar superseded
it 'are much superior as grammars.
Your 'readers, at least, should not for
got, that the starting point. 'of 'this suc
cessful- and popular publisher was 'the
old borough of Carlisle.
Of classical teachers, independent of
the College, 'the first of whom I bad any
knowledge—and, the best—was John B.
Murray, an-Irishman, and a graduate of
Maynooth. A capital scholar, and a
man of"genial - spirit and gentlemanly
tastes, ho did not, however,, N ineet with
that favor - andJpatronage Which his fine
qualifications should have commanded.
His religion (he was a Homan Catholic,)
was perhaps an occasion of prejudice
against him; in town so intensely, Pro
testant d:'s Carlisle then was ; and he
moved on, after a year or two, towards
the great West, where I hope be Was

an Evil Spirit. They believed every ani
mal to have had a great original, or
father. The first buffalo, the first bear,
the first beaver, the first eagle, et cetera,
was the manitou, or guardian spirit, of
the whole race of these different crea
tures: They chose some one of these
originals as their special manitou or guar
dian, and hence arose the custom of hav
ing representations as the totem of the,
tribe. Whatever they hold to be su
perior to themselves they deified, such as
the sun, mood, stars, meteors, fire, wa
ter, thunder, wind ; big they never et
alted their heroes or prophets above the
sphere of humanity. They adored an
invisible great Master of Life in various
form, which they called manitou, and
- de'
had vague notions of vicarious atone
ment, and made propitiatory sacrifices
with great solemnity. They all had dim
traditions of a deluge ax an exhibition
?f -Divine wrath, and the salvation of a
family as an act of Divine mercy.. They
wore very supetstitiouic 'and under the
direction of pricstcraft they did cruel
and horrible things, Li their picto
graphic records of moral and' religious
thoughts, as well as of their mythology,
they _ employed symbols extensively.
Those were also used in writing tlipir
songs, and in musical notations.
Their funeral and burial ceremonies
indicated their belief in the immortality
,of the sold. These; ceremonies were of
similar type every whore. They laid
their dead, wrapped •in skins, urn
sticks.in the bottom of a shallow pit, or
placed them id a sitting posture, Or ocea
sionly • folded them in skins and laid
them upon high scaffolds out ofthercrich
of wild beasts, under which the relatives
wept and wailed. Their ;wins, utensils,
paints, and food were buried with'Them,
to be uscd,pn their journeyito the' spirit
land, for they had an idea that they pos
sessed a twofold nature of matter and
spirit. In some regions' they lighted
a symbolic finieral pyre for .several
nights upon the grave, that :the Soul .
might. perceive and enjoy the *sped
paid fO the body. Every where they
raised Mounds over the graveS, antl
planted theni with wild • flowers; and
among the Floridians, the widows of
warriors slain in battle cut off the* hair
'and strewed it over the, graves or their

his elotheb—poor . fellow,-they were but
a mean apology for clothes. . Certainly
he must have been obliged to: put them
on piece, by. phice, an arm here, a leg
there, and a strip anywhere it would fit;
they were so ragged ; rindhad he enjoyed
the luxury of a washerwoman,- must have
sent his coat away by the dozen, 'like a
certain destitute gentleman of whom I
have read. But iii spite of,this, he. was
a human being. He had no charinieg for

heathen, • worshipping idols beneath
a tropical sun, but' pOor heathen sween
ing crossings iu the cold, muddy streets
of Now. York, and therefore -had no
clairas.upon societies or. philanthropy.
Ho was very near starvation, and only
a few doors from freezing,, but nobody
know it ; and right there; in the open
day, with tho busystroam of life pouring
up and doim the street, he sat down'oli
a step and mused. He had n't a penny,
and he miglit sweep all day ..and .not get
one, for it was bitter cold, and nobody
would take the trouttle to remove mit ten
and dive into pockets for. him. Oh, no
"Oh, Katie, I wish we were on the
other side—see that lovely braid I I
must have ; but how am Ito get over
this Wet place- 7 -i 've no rubbers."
My hero looked up. Tho speaker was
a young girl, with a sweet womanly
face, and her lovely eyes were looking
imploringlyat the store opposite.
"Is it over there you'd be goin' he
asked, with a twist of his protruding
wisp of hair. .
The young girl smiled.

," Yes want to cross the street very
much. I could if it were. swept here for
a yard or so—it is,diy all the restof the
way.
Now of comae he had never heard of
Raleigh's gallantry to his royal lady,
Queen Elizabeth ; but. with• astonishing,
alacrity, ho tov off the main part of his
ragged coat, and spread it over the wet
crossing,
" There, now !Jest -you step on this,

Tho sweet faced girl stopped - for a

and calltd the boy.
'"What is your name, boy ?"
' "Do n't know noname, only Muggins;
tliolific

" Well, Jack, do you know that you've .
thrown away your coat ?"
"Don't I? Well;-you bet 1 - But it's
no 'count. I'll be, 'fore morning, whore
they don't need coats ; I ain't had no

feller as can stand that, can git through

that un."
"Do you ever steal food, Jack ?
Couldn't you ?"
"Couldn't I? Do you soe them there
stands and winders? Don't you think I
could find grub enough. I had a mother
once, I had, and she told mo better, and
I'll be a mighty sight harder up than I
am now afore I'll take that as other
folks. I had a quarter hooked from me
once, I did, and I guess I kindert know
how it seems." ' • _
The two girl's were in tears. He did
not see it ; but lie did see the four bills
the mica faced ono held out.
